Edit: And if they have, well I don't have it haha :P

No its a train simulator. But people and companies develop addons for it.

Time to get some Train Sim action up in here.

Not a great add on community if a single plane costs you more than the game itself.

Until you realise the amount of hours that product has been given and how realistic it is and is officially licensed by the aircraft manufacturer then you realise it is worth every penny. But the majority of the add-ons for Railworks that are considered "decent" also come to the price and will rank more than the actual game price itself.

FSX has a bigger and better addons community for sure and it is a hell of a lot easier to manage and deal with such addons. If you disagree with that then you must be crazy... Railworks is decent but I wish they didn't scam the user base in a way. :P

Are you honestly serious?

The two can't even be compared. A train has very little complex systems compared to an aircraft and that follows through to the amount of programming needed. I will gladly pay up to around £70 pounds for an aircraft with the system modelled exactly how they should be.

There is no end of functions in aircraft's, so many switches need to be on before this or that will work, they can be started from nothing at all, so batteries, air power units, ground power units, you must bleed the APU, etc etc.

I'm sorry, but to compare the development race of Train Sim to the of the likes of FSX, Prepar3d and x-plane, such like is simply ludacris.

There is NO comparison.
